Best Armor Mods for Rogues: Baldur’s Gate 3 (2025)

Rogues in Baldur’s Gate 3 live and die by presentation. If you’re going to stab someone in the back, you might as well look good doing it. This article is part of our ongoing series where we dig up the best mods for every BG3 class, pulled from the in-game mod page, Nexus Mods, and the occasional Patreon rabbit hole.

I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time testing BG3 rogue armor mods that actually fit how rogues play and feel in-game. These are rogue armor mods BG3 players can roleplay with, whether you’re running a classic thief, a pirate, a swashbuckler, or just dressing Astarion better than the game ever intended.

1. Aveline set

Link to mod: NexusMods

Right off the bat, we start with the Aveline set from Assassin’s Creed. If you want to roleplay as a female assassin or a pirate, this set would fit you perfectly.

Works on body type 1.

2. Lady Maria set

Link to mod: Patreon (free)

It’s a Lady Maria set from Bloodborne. Fully dyeable. Need I say more?

Works on body type 1.

3. Rogue set

Link to mod: Patreon

This set is literally called the Rogue set, so if it doesn’t belong on this list of BG3 rogue armor mods, I don’t know what else does. The look on the leather is really high quality, and the fur cape alone is enough to download this and put it on your list.
Worth noting are also the facts that the pieces work very well with other armor mods, and that the mod also comes with its special “rogue” leather armor dyes.

Works on body type 1.

4. Pino Drip

Link to mod: Patreon

This is one of those mods with too many armor sets to count. All of them have that Renaissance drip aesthetic, with goggles and top hats and cool suits.

Works on body type 2.

5. Midnight Huntress

Link to mod: Patreon

Even though the set is called Midnight Huntress, I think it still fits rogues perfectly.

It’s a leathery set with a nice overcoat that hangs over your shoulders, and a nice set of round glasses as a cherry on top to finish the look.

6. Noctis Venator set

Link to mod: Patreon

My female buddy likes to dress up Astarion in this outfit every playthrough and goon over him. I don’t know about Astarion’s part, but I am gooning over this outfit myself. It’s incredibly high quality and looks like an armor a Bloodborne hunter would wear after he killed every single monster in the nightmare.

7. Leonhart set

Link to mod: Patreon

This set looks like something a pirate captain would wear after he looted 100 other ships, made millions off gold, and is ready to retire. And now you can too.

8. Spellblade set

Link to mod: Patreon

Even though this armor would fit great for bards, warlocks, or wizards, I think it also fits perfectly for you, arcane tricksters. With a huge hat and embellished sleeves, it’s a perfect fit for spell-flinging rogues.

9. V for Vendetta

Link to mod: NexusMods

Everyone knows V, and if you don’t, stop reading and go watch the movie right now. This armor is a perfect replica of the clothes V wears, including his mask, hat and daggers on the hips.

10. Plague doctor set

Link to mod: Patreon

This set is a liberal interpretation of Plague doctor outfits from the medieval period. I especially like the shoulder belt with all the potions and vials. You can roleplay being a rogue alchemist who uses poisons on his weapons.

11. PK clothes and armor

Link to mod: NexusMods

One more of those who have more sets in a single mod than this whole article. It’s a black, cloaked version of an armor set that Minsc wears, and it fits perfectly for your rogue character. It also comes with variants for camp attire.

12. Drow weaponry fencer

Link to mod: NexusMods

This mod adds a full drow fencer-style set with custom models and textures, and it looks exactly like something a high-end Underdark assassin would wear. The pieces are dyeable, come with customization options, and are acquired in more immersive ways.

It works best on female body type 1 (elf, half-elf, drow, human, tiefling), with a few items available for male body type 2. 

13. Witcher outfits: Dettlaf

Link to mod: NexusMods

This is Dettlaff’s armor set from The Witcher, plain and simple. Dark, dramatic, and very on-brand for a rogue that leans more assassin than street thief. The mod adds four outfits, along with fingerless gloves and boots.

Works with all body types.

14. Calimshan pirate outfits

Link to mods: NexusMods

This mod adds a dyeable pirate-themed outfit inspired by Calimshan, and it works across all races and body types. It’s an easy fit for rogues, especially if you’re leaning into pirate, smuggler, or swashbuckler roleplay. Simple and very easy to mix with other armors.

Works with all body types.

Final thoughts…

If there’s one thing rogues get right in Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s that armor is part of the character. A good set tells you who this person is before they ever roll initiative.

Some of these sets ended up glued to my rogue for entire acts, others became permanent upgrades for companions who were never allowed back into their default outfits.

If you’re the kind of player who spends more time in camp rotating characters than moving the main quest forward, you’re in good company. I’ve also put together armor mod picks for barbarians and rangers for when the rest of the party inevitably demands a makeover.
